FIRE, thats all i gotta say...

Shawn "Bludshot" Tierney's eclectic, sixteen-track CD features a variety of producers and musicians. Shawn subtly blends funk, rap, rock and soul into his own original brand of hip-hop. Bludshot is a passionate musician, his singing style ranges from smooth storytelling to rapid-fired phrases. Shawn has surrounded himself with quality players and producers thus the CD has polished songs with infectious grooves. 'Beautiful Day' is the opening track. It features a snappy, somewhat complex rhythm layered over suave rapping. I like the hook phrase about "a beautiful day and the sun shinning on my face" but as the tale unfolds the night comes and things go sour. 'Shake It' is a prime example of how Bludshot melds genres. Guitars, bass and keys start the song with a rock groove that reminds me of surf music. The song then shifts to an edgy rap beat as Shawn sings seductively. The song ebbs and flows in this pattern to a quiet end. 'Welcome To My World' blends rock instrumentation with hip-hop attitude. The soulful, harmonizing vocal parts adds texture and even more diversity to this multi-faceted track. Another Day is a complex, comprehensive work proving that Bludshot is an extraordinary hip-hop artist.

Daaammmnn. This is one tight @$$ cd. I can't believe it's an indie release cause it sounds extremely polished and professional. The beats are on point and Bludshot's flows are smooth like a shot of 151. Definitely some hot ish

I like the middle eastern vibe on Who I Am. Killer singles and heat tracks that especially stand out because of the instrumentals. Overall heat 5/5* . Visit me at www.cdbaby.com/si3
